Good morning everyone.

Currently 57 here, sun and clouds all day with a high of 76.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Two eggs, bacon and/or sausage links with hash browns for breakfast today.

Karl, same here with the farming vehicles on the road.

Ron, I guess the Philippines track favors the RB cars too.   

Jerry, so what did the day bring?

TomO, hope you found a nice route home.

Mike, getting a new X1?

Curt, hope you're able to get the cyst resolved.

Larry, it does take a little more time washing the van.

How's everyone else?

We did our hike yesterday.
Still a lot of green trees and the ones that have changed colors have lost many leaves.
Got lucky at Walmart.
Only two nozzles left in the clearance aisle.
One was $11 and the other $3.
Guess which one I got. 

I don't understand why they're changing Columbus Day with Native Americans Day.
Only about 1% of the earths land mass is inhabited by the original peoples.
BTW, since I was born in NJ I guess that makes me a Native American. 

If you have Netflix and looking for a good show to watch, I highly recommend The Gentleman.
Also The Great English Baking Show is outstanding even if you don't bake.

This is from yesterday.



Have a great day everyone.

Very nice Larry.
You've already gotten some good tips here.

Good morning everyone.

66 now, mix of sun and clouds with a high of 83.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Assorted muffins, bagels and danish for breakfast today.

Mike, surprised the car was totaled.

Jerry, have fun with the grandkids.

Jim, have fun with the pickle factory and good luck at the meet.

Karl, nice BIF photo.

TomO, all the best to Terry and hope you're having a good time on the road.

Ron, I'm sure you'll have the layout ready for next weekend.

ACLTom, did you spend any new currency for old?

Dave, how's the shed coming along?

Curt, more leg work yesterday?

Larry, trees are turning very slowly.

How's everyone else?

Plans changed after posting yesterday.
I looked at the weather app and saw that today should be better for photography so the hike will be today.
Walked with Star to the local grocery and got what I needed there saving me a trip to Costco.
I will go to Walmart after the hike to get a nozzle for the garden hose so I can wash the van.

I liked the colors on these vines.



Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone.

66 now, sun and windy with a high of 86 later.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
An assortment of cold cereals are on the counter.
Fresh fruit too to add in if you like.

ACLTom, good news on the writing and give the modeling some time.
The mojo will return.

TomO, that all sounds like too much drama for kids to have to deal with.
Just let them play and have fun.
I have great memories playing baseball, football and basketball with the neighborhood kids.

Jerry, I hope to see more varied colors eventually.

Mike, how are you feeling?

Curt, did you get the legs installed?

Larry, have fun mulching the leaves.

Karl, hope you tame the ether today.

How's everyone else.

Got a few more things done in the van.
I ordered new seat covers because Star shredded the old ones.
Went to the library and returned one book and got the next one in the series.
A hike at one of the parks this morning then Costco afterward.

This is from Thursdays hike.



Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone.

56 now, sunny and a high of 77 later.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Bacon, egg and cheese on a Jersey hard roll for breakfast.

Dave, those are nice colors.

Jerry, how are you?

Karl your trees are more colorful than the ones here so far.

TomO, have fun traveling with Terry and congratulations on the car sales.

Mike, did you make window progress?

James, thanks for stopping in and giving an update.

Larry, how was dinner?

Curt, did they figure out what's wrong with the car?

How's everyone else?

We did our hike yesterday.
Surprised to see so many trees still green and very few having their autumn colors.
Nothing planned yet for today.

From yesterdays hike.



Have a great day everyone.

No rough seas, just smooth sailing.

Looks good Curt.
Interesting that you stained the wood instead of leaving it raw.

This is still looking like a good option: https://ultimation.ca/products/slicer

Thanks Terry for your feedback.

A member emailed me (know idea why they just didn't post it here) a link to a sea he and Karl O use.

The above member mentioned it was hard to see where the saw was cutting so don't know if I'd like that.

The search continues.

Good morning everyone.

Currently 47, cloudy all day with a high of 73.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Breakfast burritos for breakfast filled with scrambled eggs, sausage and cheddar.

Jerry, what's new?

Ron, what did you end up doing last night?

Morning Philip.

Karl, what did you put on the bread?

Dave, I used the list proved by Brett in one of his kits.

Mike, how'd the afternoon go?

Curt, hope the fix wasn't expensive.

How's everyone else?

It's amazing to me how inept government employees can be.
Went to the courthouse yesterday to transfer title of my house to me.
The woman I dealt with had zero idea what I was doing there, how to do what was needed and asked the same questions numerous times.

A hike this morning.
Hope there's more color on the trees.

Independence Lake in Aspen, CO.



Have a great day everyone.

I don't see the Shay Wood Miter for sale, so maybe discontinued?

I see a saw made by Miupwula on Amazon.
Anyone have any experience with it or any comments on it?

Proton saw looks interesting.
Is the HSS saw blade for KS 115, Ø 2" is best for our modeling needs cutting strip wood?

Terry, I don't have that Gazette.
Do you like the sander?

I've started research on tools to start building kits and scratch builds.
I used to have a chopper and true sander but I was never very happy with them and looking for something better.
I did a search here and didn't see a thread on this topic but did see a post from Jeff where he had bought some Ultamation tools which look interesting.
Jeff, you mentioned that you couldn't get the chopper to work as well as shown in the companies video.
Have you been able to get it to work better and are you still happy with their tools.

Any suggestions for other sources of better cutters, saws and sanders?

It's looking real good Larry.

Rob, congratulations on yet another exquisite model.

Good morning everyone.

49 now, sunny and 74 later.

Larry, thanks for the coffee and breakfast and hope you get to make more progress at the bench.

Philip, planned obsolescence is a thing.

Ron, definitely no one is catching Kimi, and didn't suggest anyone would.

Jerry, how are you?

Dave, those tails are great for swatting flies.

Curt, surprisingly she doesn't pay any attention to them.
Maybe because she's seen many in our travels.
Deer, rabbits and squirrels still capture much attention.

TomO, how'd the mowing go?

Karl, very pretty sunrise.

ACLTom, how's Pam do?

How's everyone else?

While I was out yesterday I picked up a few bottles of paint, brushes and glues.
Still months away from doing any modeling.
I'm not in a rush.
Nothing planned for today yet.

First light on my hike up Grays Peak back in July.



Have a great day everyone.
